Hi guys an girlies (just fot u kaz mwwwwaaaaa) Im just wondering if ANYONE can advise me on the exportation of my corns to ITALY.
Ive been given an opportunity to POSSIBLY move to ITALY to live DNT PANIC GUYS YOU WONT LOSE TOUCH WITH THIS SCOUSER and its not likely to happen for at least 2yrs yet but just wondered if anyone knew how/if its possible to take my cornsnakes with me to ITALY.
BE REALLY SAD IF I CANT AS IVE GROWN SO ATTACHED TO THEM and THEM TO ME specially the little one who has ALMOST had me a few times (little sod) hehehehehehehe.
Anyway guys an girlies ANY INFO or ADVICE would be appreciated ive done some searching but cant find any definitive answers to whether or not I am going to be allowed to take them SHOULD WE (ME AND THE OH AN 4 CATS AND 3 CORNSNAKES)take the plunge and do the move abroad.
thanks for lettin me waffle on (go on kaz say sommat you know ya want too heheheheh)
reptiles don't need quarantine ;) Your best bet is to contact DEFRA on this - the last time I looked at exporting PET reps (nothing for resale etc) all you need is a letter signed by yourself that they belong to you and I can't remember if you also need a statement from a vet to say they are in good health (that may have been for importing). I've just been in touch with an Italian breeder and she tells me there are no requirements as far as she knows for importing to Italy.
One thing that will probably be for sure though is you may not be able to fly them in, or it may be expensive to do so
So you may wanna have a dig around, possibly contact someone from here: http://italy.usembassy.gov/agtrade/files/Pet.asp They say you can import 'common reptiles', but it depends on their definition of common.
THANKS FOR THE INFO GUYS AN GIRLIES. IVE CONTACTED DEFRA an im now waiting for a response from them. if I get any info that might be of use to the forum I will post accordingly.
